Pays well. Good culture
Pays well. Good culture
There is a good culture, strongly promoted at Booking.com. Pay was a little below market average, but this was addressed, and it is now above. Being a big company means opportunities to move teams and grow.
The downside of any large company is the inevitable bureaucracy that comes with that. The promotion process is more rigorous than applying for the same job externally, etc. People can be moved between teams without consultation sometimes. Inevitably, it's a business, and unpopular decisions are occasionally made based on balance sheets.
Talk more to people about being moved to a new team rather than present it as a done deal. The company culture is good, but culture also exists at a team level, and moving can be quite a shock.

Firstly, two interviews with a recruiter and then a hiring manager. Neither seemed 'failable'; it was just to get to know one another. Thereafter, there was a 90-minute technical interview with two developers from the Booking team.
